An InvitationA way to live that makes senseThoughts to consider

*

A way to live that brings peaceA way to live that brings hopeA way to live that brings joyThe freedom to love

*

That’s what I looked forAs a child what I longed forAs a man I came searchingFound the great surpriseMy God was looking for meGives inexpressible love

*

Yes, it’s experientialThe door way is on the bottomIn the brokenness He comesSeeking to comfortIn my personal despairHe gives the greatest blessing

*

Comfort in the lossForgiveness in betrayalCompassion and loveFor me and for the othersThe massive failure we feel

*

Those who betrayed meAnd for the ones I betrayedInexpressibleLove given to each of usWith gentleness and mercy

*

Knowledge is what I neededHidden information cameBrought certainty to this loveMy mind was captured

*

I chose to believeMy heart leaped with the wonderIncomprehensible loveWas revealed through oneWho chose to be one of usAnd offer “abundant life”

*

This love is hiddenAges and generationsHave discovered thisGod is closer than your bloodHe is the air that you breathe

*

God’s my friend, indeedI come each morning seekingTo stay close to himFind healing in His counselHe reminds me who I am

*

Chosen and BelovedFavored and given his peaceEmpowered by His SpiritTo see and bring hopeTo proclaim with compassionHis personal love for all

*

It’s time to come outReveal everlasting loveGod loves you personallyNot talk but actionEach day you can meet with HimReceive His love and give it

*

These words are not an invitation “to church” or “religion.” These are words born out of a quest I began fifty-four years ago. God is real! God is present! And He loves you! In silence I began this quest seeking to know if this love was real. I found these words “abundant life.” I found these words not only true but beyond my imagination. God is my friend. God is your friend! We can meet with Him daily and interact on the deepest soul level. I always honor my questions. He has always kept His promises.
